Rural Outreach Program (ROP)

The Rural Outreach Program (ROP) is a student-run organization that delivers health science learning experiences to high school students around Utah and the Intermountain West. This opportunity allows medical students to practice teaching, provide hands-on instruction to students with dissections, and provide insight on the pathway to being in medical school and some of the pros and cons. Trips occur during winter and spring breaks.

If you are a SFESOM medical student interested in participating in ROP activities, please email Randy.Hansen@hsc.utah.edu.

Time commitment: 1-5 days
